This started off so strong and I was so invested! The characters were intriguing and the world was really interesting.
However, towards the last third of the book, it really went downhill. By the end it kind of felt like everything the mc went thru and everything that happened was for nothing and had no effect on the story. There was the whole buildup with Riker and then he died but she got over it really fast. And then when she was pregnant, I was like okay this book ruined itself. I just hate pregnancy in books! And nothing was ever really resolved at the end- the mc knew the truth about the world she lived in and was planning on changing things, but we the readers saw none of that change. Just disappointing overall.
